Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signage technology, specifically to a signage suitable for woody plants that is designed to prevent strangulation and promote adaptive growth. Background Technology

[0002] Signage serves as an important tool for plant identification, information display, and management, and is widely used in landscaping, botanical gardens, urban landscapes, forestry research, and seedling cultivation. Its function extends beyond simply labeling plant names, families, and characteristics; it also serves as a tool for science education, landscape guidance, and resource management, playing an irreplaceable role, especially in the long-term maintenance and research of woody plants.

[0003] Currently, most common plant identification signs are made of metal, plastic, or composite materials and are fixed to tree trunks or branches by nailing, binding, or attaching. However, as woody plants grow year by year, the trunk diameter increases, and the straps, wires, or ropes used to fix the signs can easily become embedded in the bark or even the xylem, creating a "strangulation effect." This hinders the transport of nutrients to the plant, affects its normal growth and development, and in severe cases, can even lead to local necrosis or the death of the entire plant.

[0004] Existing signs have a rigid structure and cannot automatically adjust the size or tightness of the fixing parts as the trees grow. They need to be loosened or replaced manually periodically, which is costly and inconvenient. At the same time, some signs require drilling or nailing into the tree trunk during installation, which can cause mechanical damage to the plants and increase the risk of pests and diseases. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of existing signs lacking self-adaptive capabilities, requiring periodic manual loosening or replacement, resulting in high maintenance costs and inconvenient operation, and also exhibiting strangulation issues, this invention provides a strangulation-resistant, self-adaptive sign suitable for woody plants.

[0025] Example 2 Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on embodiment 1, its working principle and usage process are as follows: In practical applications, as the tree branches gradually thicken, the adaptive mechanism of the sign begins to function. The design of the first fitting component 122 and the second fitting component 124 allows them to rotate flexibly during tree growth, avoiding damage to the bark or wood due to excessive tightness. Simultaneously, the sliding characteristics of the first pre-tensioning rod 1231 combined with the elastic support of the first pre-tensioning spring 1233 ensures that the sign always fits tightly against the tree surface, providing stability without creating a binding effect.

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting movement function of the second pre-tensioner 142 and the third pre-tensioner 145 provides ample space for tree growth, eliminating the risk of entanglement that may occur with traditional signs. This dynamic adjustment capability significantly reduces the frequency and cost of manual maintenance, while also minimizing mechanical damage to the trees. Through the precise docking between the first connector 143 and the second connector 146, and the ease of bolt fixing, users can quickly complete installation or disassembly operations, improving efficiency.

[0027] In practice, the first mounting frame 11 and the second mounting frame 13 are first placed on both sides of the tree branches and trunk, and then connected and fixed using the components in the locking assembly 14. Subsequently, the sign body 20 is fixed to the main structure using fixing screws 30, thereby realizing the information display function of the sign. The entire installation process requires no additional tools and does not cause any drilling or nailing damage to the tree.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
